波尔山羊FSHR5’端序列的SNP多态性及超排效果分析

为探索波尔山羊超排个体排卵数差异与个体遗传特性的相关性,对波尔山羊的FSHR基因(950 bp),分成四段分别设计引物进行PCR-SSCP多态性分析,结果发现一个SNP位点,导致5-’1出现两种基因型。序列分析显示该突变位点位于转录起始点上游-739bp处,属于远端转录启动调控区。统计分析表明AA型个体的平均排卵数与AB型个体的平均排卵数差异极显著(P<0.01),平均胚胎可利用率差异显著(P<0.05),这说明个体的超排潜力可能与其本身的FSHR基因的遗传特性有关。

Characterization of polymorphisms of transferrin receptor and their association with susceptibility to ETEC F4ab/ac in pigs

Diarrhoea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) expressing F4 (F4ab, F4ac and F4ad) fimbriae is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in newborn and weaned pigs. The locus controlling susceptibility towards ETEC F4ab/ac has been mapped to SSC13q41, in which TFRC (transferrin receptor) was localized and considered as a positional candidate gene for ETEC F4ab/ac receptor. In this study, we determined susceptibility/resistance to ETEC F4ab/ac in a total of 755 F2 animals from a White Duroc x Erhualian intercross using a microscopic enterocyte adhesion assay. We identified two TFRC polymorphisms (SNPs 591 A>G and 632 A>G) in a single exon after comparative sequencing analysis of 2371-bp amplicons containing the complete coding region of TFRC using RNA of eight full-sib F2 animals with susceptible and resistant phenotypes. The intron sequences flanking the two exon polymorphisms were obtained, revealing an intron polymorphism (SNP 291 C>T). We genotyped the 19 founder animals of the White Duroc x Erhualian intercross for the identified polymorphisms, showing that only the 291 C>T polymorphism is a highly informative marker. We further genotyped all 59 F1 and 755 F2 animals for the 291 C>T polymorphism, and the association of this polymorphism with susceptibility/resistance to ETEC F4ab/ac in these F2 animals was evaluated by the transmission disequilibrium test. The result showed that the 291 C>T polymorphism is not a causal mutation, however, has a significant linkage disequilibrium with the ETEC F4ab/ac, especially F4ac receptor locus.     

多杀菌素的作用机理及其抗药性的研究进展

多杀菌素是一类新的杀虫剂,具有高效、低毒、选择性强、对环境安全的特点。其作用机制是通过激活烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体(nAChR),使正常昆虫神经细胞去极化,也可通过抑制γ-氨基丁酸受体(GABAR)使神经细胞超极化。本文综述了多杀菌素作用机理及其抗药性的研究进展。     

Single nucleotide polymorphism identification, linkage and radiation hybrid mapping of the porcine pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide type I receptor gene to chromosome 18

Pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neuropeptide with diverse biological actions. Type I PACAP receptors (PACAPR) are specific for PACAP, whereas type II and III PACAPRs are less restricted. To localize and analyse the variation of this gene, a 559‐bp long intronic fragment of the porcine PACAPR gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced in samples from five different pig breeds. One single nucleotide polymorphism was identified and its allele frequency was determined in all five breeds. Linkage analysis in a Berkshire × Yorkshire reference family placed the PACAPR gene on chromosome 18, between SW787 and S0062 (SW787– 8.1 cM –PACAPR– 3.0 cM –S0062). Radiation hybrid mapping confirmed that the PACAPR gene was linked to SW1682 on chromosome 18 (28.8 cR₃₀₀₀; LOD = 10.4).     

温度和GA_3对桃果实采后乙烯合成及桃ETR1同源基因表达的影响

为明确桃果实采后成熟衰老期间乙烯的合成与桃ETR1同源基因之间的关系,进一步了解乙烯的转导和作用过程,设计合成了桃ETR1扩增引物RTetr1和RTetr2,用RT-PCR方法研究了温度和GA3处理对白凤桃(Amyg-daluspersicaL.)果实采后乙烯生成和桃ETR1同源基因表达的影响。结果表明,低温处理降低了果实乙烯释放量,低温+GA3处理不仅降低了果实乙烯释放量,还延缓乙烯释放高峰期。PCR分析表明,桃ETR1的cDNA合成受温度和GA3调节,随着乙烯合成能力的增强,ETR1同源基因的表达水平增加,在乙烯信号转导过程中呈正向表达模式。

Effects of PPARγ agonist on calpain expression in model of acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

AIM: To explore the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ （PPARγ） agonist on calcium-activated neutral proteinase, calpain, expression in the brain of rats with acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). METHODS: EAE model was established in rats by inoculating the homogenate contained spinal cord of guinea pig and complete Freunds adjuvant. Respectively, the PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone and non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ibuprofen were used to treat the EAE rats. Outcome measures (Kohs scale) were applied at baseline and after treatment to assess the improvement of clinical symptoms. Calpain expression levels were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: All the groups showed significant improvements of scales scores after treatment with rosiglitazone and ibuprofen. No significant difference of the expression of calpain mRNA was found among EAE group, rosiglitazone and ibuprofen groups (P>0.05), but the expression of calpain reduced markedly in rosiglitazone and ibuprofen groups compared with that in EAE group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Rosiglitazone and ibuprofen inhibit the expression of calpain and improve the clinical symptoms of EAE rats. PPARγ agonist plays a neuroprotective role in EAE rats.
